Hi @nagasree963_193876,

canaryUpgrade is a boolean field and indicates that configuration and container image changes should only be pushed to the first rack in the datacenter.

Here for the relevant definition in the cass-operator-manifest yaml

https://github.com/datastax/cass-operator/blob/master/docs/user/cass-operator-manifests-v1.18.yaml#L68

If you are happy with the changes in the canaryUpgrade, you can set this field back to false, and the changes will be applied to the rest of the cluster in a rolling fashion.

I hope this clarifies the usage.
